More About the Farm

We sell all of our products directly to consumers at area producer-only farmers' markets and through our CSA. Our business is known for its abundance of apple varieties, unique Asian pears, and the high standard of quality in all of our fruits and vegetables. We celebrated the 20th anniversary of the farm in 2012 by planting a new and very unique orchard. The farm's current large selection of apple varieties has been joined by hundreds more (we're up to around 400 now). Our goal? To flavor the future! Check our calendar for fall Adventure in Flavor! events and explore some of the 400 yourself!

We have always been interested in both growing unusual varieties of fruit and vegetables and in using the newest ideas in training and trellising. We are concerned about the environment, are GMO free, and work hard to farm in a manner as sustainable and safe as possible.

A 2014 adventure was the restoration of an old barn, as seen in this short video. What an amazing process! We'll be using that barn a lot as we go forward. Events? Of course! (we joke that everyone does weddings; perhaps we should get into funerals?) Plus, eventually, the CSA pickup and farm store activities will take place there.
